Re: [Gamedevlists-brew] Getting pixel type from display.

[Guido H. <gh...@g3...>]

Steven,

That's a pretty safe way in general. I've been doing something similar in 
apps that are out on 50+ handsets or so, so no problems there.

However, depending on what you do you may want to look at the Samsung a530 a 
bit closer. It has a broken display driver that oncverts 565-pixels into a 
truly obscure 343-format or so if I remember right. It's not a high volume 
handset, though, so you may just as well skip it.

As for 8-bit displays, there are really no handsets out there nay more with 
8-bit displays so no need to worry about that either.
